The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 299 Supplementary Supplies
When she went to space yesterday, Bai Meixi knew that Liu Mazi's family had finished their rice, and they had to prepare food for them no matter what.Therefore, Bai Meixi planned to go to the department store to replenish the food supplies for Liu Mazi's family in the space.

Under the willow tree not far ahead, there was an old man sitting on the ground under the tree, leaning on the big trunk to enjoy the cool air.Next to him, there was a base plate car with some green things on it.

From a distance, Bai Meixi didn't see clearly what they were.When I walked in, I saw that they were some lotus pods.

Earlier, in the cities of later generations, there were people pushing carts out to sell lotus pods. It seemed that this old man was also selling lotus pods.Bai Meixi thought to herself that the old man was not afraid of the patrol team chasing her.

The moment the old man raised his head and saw Bai Meixi, he asked with a smile: "Little comrade, would you like to buy some lotus pods?"

Bai Meixi smiled helplessly, what use did she need the lotus pods for?But it's really heartbreaking to see that the old man has to take the risk to sell lotus pods at such an old age.I thought to myself, if I buy two, just buy two!
"How to sell?"

"One is three cents, two is five cents." The old comrade extended his finger and introduced to Bai Meixi.

Two for five cents, that's equivalent to two and a half.Bai Meixi looked at how difficult it was for the old man in this hot weather, so he said, "Give me twenty!"

"Come on!" The old man was very excited after hearing this. He quickly got up and counted the lotus pods for Baimeixi. While counting them, he said: "Lotus pods are a good thing. If you eat these lotus seeds, you can still germinate them." I'm planting lotus roots!... Come on, twenty of them, I'll give you fifty cents."

The old comrade's mind was very good, and he could easily calculate it. He gave Bai Meixi two points and five points.

Bai Meixi was delighted when she heard the old man's introduction. It turned out that lotus roots were grown from these lotus seeds!When I was chatting with Aunt Liu in the space that day, she always thought she was buying lotus roots, like potatoes and sweet potatoes, cut into pieces for germination!Why!I really learned a lot. Fortunately, I didn't rush to buy lotus roots, otherwise I would really make a joke.

Bai Meixi looked at the sincerity of the old man, took the lotus pod, and said to the old man before leaving: "Old man, when I came here just now, I saw people from the patrol team in the market, please be careful!"

"Thank you for reminding me, little comrade. It doesn't matter to me. I sell it for the commune, and I have a letter of introduction." The old comrade responded gratefully.

Bai Meixi smiled and nodded, then took the lotus pod and left.

This lotus pod is not very small. I opened one and took a look. The lotus seeds inside are quite real.Put it in your mouth, then bite it, and a bitter taste spreads in your mouth.how to say?It's not that it's unbearably bitter. Maybe it's because it's fresh, so it doesn't have the bitterness of being dried.

Bai Meixi thought to herself that this time was just right. When she got back, she could ask Aunt Liu to help with germination and planting.

Next, Bai Meixi went to the department store and asked about the price of rice. A pound of rice cost [-] cents plus a pound of food stamps.

Bai Meixi thought to herself that she wanted something to eat after all. She didn't know when she would come to Yuelou Market next time, so she might as well buy more.I simply bought 28 kilograms of rice at once, spending a total of [-] yuan, and [-] kilograms of food stamps.Among the [-] kilograms of food stamps, there are also food stamps collected from the last time I came to Yuelou City to sell fruit. If I just rely on the income this time, it is completely insufficient.

Bai Meixi asked: "Is there any chaff?"

"Have!"

"How much is a catty?"

"Three cents." "Give me a hundred catties per dollar!"

The other party was weighing chaff, so Bai Meixi counted out three dollars and handed it to the other party.

It's a good thing now that she bought the bran in one place, so that the fish in her space can eat. She just hopes that her little fish will eat bigger and bigger.

After buying the rice and bran, Bai Meixi finally dragged these things out. It took a lot of effort to put them on the bicycle. She found a deserted place and pushed the bicycle and rice into the space.

Then I went to the non-staple food counter to buy other things. Department stores, department stores, so-called department stores, they are very complete.This is equivalent to a supermarket in later generations. You can basically buy anything you want here.It’s just that the electrical appliances of this era were underdeveloped and there were no such things.

Bai Meixi bought another ten pounds of salt for one yuan and thirty cents.I bought ten pounds of soy sauce and spent two yuan.Five pounds of vinegar cost [-] cents.

Even though these things are not that much, if they weigh ten or ten kilograms, they are still nearly thirty kilograms, and they are still heavy to carry in your hand.But Bai Meixi really didn't want to bother, so she went out to put it in the space, so she simply carried it first, bought all the things she needed, and then sent them to the space together.

Although it is a bit heavy, it can still bear the weight.

Going to the counter in front, Bai Meixi put her things on the ground temporarily and bought ten more boxes of matches for [-] cents.

We continued shopping and went to the tobacco and alcohol counter.A Pegasus cigarette costs [-] yuan and [-] cents. Bai Meixi bought two cigarettes for [-] yuan and [-] cents.A bottle of liquor cost eighty cents, and I bought two more bottles of wine for one dollar and sixty cents.

Smoking and drinking are not particularly heavy, so Bai Meixi can still persist.I went to the butcher shop and cut another seven pounds of meat. The price of the meat was the same as last time, which was still six cents per pound. The total cost was four yuan and twenty cents.

After the meat was weighed, Bai Meixi asked the master to help divide it into three portions.

One of the larger portions, weighing four kilograms in total, was still for Liu Mazi's family to improve their food.Bai Meixi is not a stingy person. If people work for her, and if they say food and shelter are included, then they have to eat and drink well.

There is also a one-pound portion. The heavy one-pound portion will be delivered to your parents’ house when you pass by it when you go back.To be honest, Bai Meixi has clearly seen the changes in He Shaoying during this period of time.She knows that human hearts are made of flesh and everyone can be influenced.

The remaining portion is only two kilograms. I will take it home and feed it to my husband’s family.

After leaving the door of the department store, I put all my things on the frame of my bicycle. There were deep marks on my fingers from the hemp rope, and the belly of my fingers had begun to turn white.Bai Meixi shook her hand and stroked it, allowing the blood to circulate, and she slowly regained her strength.

This time, I spent a total of 46 yuan and [-] cents in cash, plus [-] kilograms of food stamps.

Bai Meixi found a deserted place and put the basket in the space.In the next time, she still wants to wander around Yuelou Market, and she is still determined to get what she desires most.It would be a bit inconvenient to carry these things around, so she simply put them away in advance and sorted them out one by one when the time came.
